Hey there,
it might have been asked before,
have the specifications of the WS-20 been publicized?
Specifically its sfc and power rating?
(the forum search engine doesn't take short query such as sfc and special char such as -. An Google doesn't seem to have indexed the forum properly)

Updates from the Shanghai Commercial Aviation Expo. Posted by @晶陆001 on Weibo, shared by Cute Orca on Weibo:
Roughly translated:
Since I'm not proficient in recognizing engines in-general, hence I won't post the photos from the expo here. The rest of his posts are gifs from the expo.

I haven't seen any public specifications for it. But we should see some soon as they are trying to sell export Y-20s with this engine.
I assume it has similar performance parameters as bog standard CFM56 engine as used in Airbus A320.
China's first medium-speed and high-power ammonia fuel engine successfully ignited
on November 30. According to CCTV News, on the afternoon of November 30, China’s first medium-speed and high-power ammonia fuel engine developed by CRRC Dalian Company was successfully ignited in Dalian. This medium-speed and high-power ammonia fuel engine It is expected to be used in the country's first ammonia fuel tugboat next year to realize the demonstration application of ammonia fuel engines..
an ammonia fuel engine refers to an engine that uses ammonia as fuel. Ammonia fuel is a green fuel synthesized from green hydrogen. It contains no carbon and is easy to liquefy and store. According to reports, the single-cylinder power of this engine can reach 208kW, and the maximum proportion of ammonia energy can reach 85%. Compared with traditional diesel engines, it can reduce carbon emissions by 80%.
The successful development and smooth ignition of the ammonia-fuel engine marks that China has broken through and mastered the key technology of the ammonia-fuel engine, and realized the coordination of the entire industry chain of ammonia-fuel engine parts, complete machines and application scenarios, which will promote the upgrading of the traditional engine industry..

Certainly interesting, ultimately less energy efficient than using green electricity to charge batteries, but good for storage and use away from grid access, or possibly in shipping.China's first medium-speed and high-power ammonia fuel engine successfully ignited
